WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE DO BEST.
Sometimes you go into a business, sometimes you back into
it. Southern Stretch Forming became a curved metal provider by starting out
as a curved metal consumer. Dependent for our supply of curved metal from
West Coast companies that mainly served the aerospace industry, we grew
increasingly frustrated with frequent delivery delays and high freight
costs. When we discovered that other companies in Texas and elsewhere were in similar need
of a reliable stretched metal provider, we realized that an obstacle had
created an opportunity. That was in 1991, and now stretch forming is our
only business. We’ve grown to FOUR locations in order to better serve
your curved metal needs and to reduce higher freight costs. In addition to
our main office in Denton, Texas,
we have divisions in California, Colorado and Pennsylvania.
 Process Capabilities
StretchForming
Stretch forming machines are designed to provide close-tolerance stretch
leveling and stretch forming of lineal materials. The controls are equipped
with a CNC controller reducing processing variation.
Our
first year: In 1991, Southern Stretch Forming and Fabrication became
the first curved metal provider in Texas.
As with any new business, we experienced challenges and “learning
opportunities,” but each year since our first has brought growth,
sometimes phenomenal growth.
Service
comes first: We believe that one reason for our loyal and expanding
customer base is that we understand our customers’ requirements and
problems with an insight that only comes from having been customers
ourselves. From the beginning, we have been determined to serve our
customers the way we would want to be served.
THE FOCUS IS ON
SERVICE
Why we specialize: Since our
original customers were in the architectural and construction fields,
Southern Stretch Forming has continued to focus on these industries. Unlike
some firms, we do not favor aerospace clients. Whether you need our
products for windows, walls, doors, arches, signs, skylights or anything
else, Southern Stretch will give you the same attention, the same service
and the same quality guarantee that we give everyone. At Southern Stretch
Forming, our “best customer” is the one we’re serving
right now.
Integrity: We believe that
customer service includes candor and openness. As with any process, stretch
forming and fabrication has its limitations. For instance, stretching a
metal that has already been painted or anodized may compromise the finish.
Fortunately, most such problems can be anticipated, which is why it’s
always been our policy to inform customers of any foreseeable problem. We
can’t always promise perfect results, but we can promise you perfect
honesty.
A
collaborative process: At Southern Stretch Forming, we believe
communication is essential to success. Every project is a
collaboration between our customer and us. We take pains to
understand your needs and expectations so we can deliver the right product
at the right price.
